The object list item offers a quick overview of an object within a list. Typically, it is used in a master list in the flexible column layout. The object list items usually allow the user to navigate to the details of an object. Therefore, the object list item should only contain essential information that is necessary for the user to identify which object to work on first.

Responsiveness

The object list item’s text sizes are limited due to truncation. The title wraps once and truncates after two lines. The key attribute also truncates if it does not have enough space. Apps therefore need to use formatters, for example, to transform 1,659,963,900.42 into 1.7 B. (Note that this transformation is language-specific.)

Status texts (on the right) and object attributes (on the left) do not wrap, but only truncate. Status texts can have a semantic color (to reflect the state) and an optional icon. The object attributes are placed next to the status texts. If they do not have a neighboring status text, they use the full width available for the list item.

Components

Behavior and Interaction

List item behavior and interaction is similar for all list item variants and is therefore described in the list overview article.

Guidelines

• An icon in front of the title requires a lot of space. Ensure there is sufficient space available if you are planning to use one.
• This control can only throw one event. Therefore, object list items cannot contain an additional link.
• Display the date  within the title in the long format and within the attributes in the medium format.
• Avoid long descriptive texts. They may not be displayed due to truncation.
